Water browning or brownification refers to increasing water color, often related to increasing
dissolved organic matter (DOM) and carbon (DOC) content in freshwaters. Browning has …

Freshwater reservoirs are a known source of greenhouse gas (GHG) to the atmosphere, but
their quantitative significance is still only loosely constrained. Although part of this …

Hydropower reservoirs, as vital inland waters bodies of anthropogenic origin, exhibit distinct
characteristics from natural waters, thereby garnering research interest in the quantification …

Limnology, and in particular the study of the aquatic carbon cycle initially focused on lakes
as isolated ecosystems. Later on, investigations followed of lakes as recipients. Current …

The widespread browning of northern lakes has been associated with long-term increases
in dissolved organic carbon and color and should be linked to changes in surface water …

Human-made reservoirs are now recognized as potentially significant sources of
greenhouse gases, comparable to other anthropogenic sources, yet efforts to estimate these …

Increased permafrost thaw due to climate change in northern high-latitudes has prompted
concern over impacts on soil and stream biogeochemistry that affect the fate of dissolved …

Inland waters receive a significant quantity of carbon (C) from land. The fate of this C during
transit, whether it is emitted to the atmosphere, accumulated in sediments or transported to …

Inland waters have a significant influence on atmospheric methane (CH4) levels. However,
processes determining the strength of CH4 emissions from these systems are not well …

There is now increasing evidence for the importance of microbial regulation of
biogeochemical cycling in streams. Resource availability shapes microbial community …
